- [R12] ProFit Not a personal app: I downloaded this and went through the setup. The exercises look descent but the major issue is that they have the one size fits all mentality. During the setup I was hoping it asks me my age, sex, height, current weight and target weight, etc.… so that it can provide me with a “personalized” plan. But it didn’t. I understand all the arguments about the privacy issues and al
- [R37] ProFit Sub-Par: The application layout looks great, but it is missing a lot of equipment that is in the gym, especially machines. I don’t like the fact that you have to pay the 1999 upfront without a trial. Because once you get into the app, you realize that there’s a lot of stuff that it’s missing definitely needs to have a wider range of equipment available.
- [R62] SHRED Motivating but needs customization: I feel Shred is one of the most motivating fitness apps I’ve used and I’ve used them all. It has just enough of the community element without being distracting or influencer driven. The workouts are challenging and you can customize based on frequency and equipment. So why four stars? For anyone who’s mildly experience with training or weight lifting, you’ll fi
- [R75] SHRED Basic functions missing: Why can’t I skip an exercise or circuit in the app? There should be an easy way to do that. Why can my AI coach not look up the exercises? I’ve done in the past and suggest a weight? Why does it not automatically start me from the place? I was last time with an exercise instead of picking its default suggestion? There’s a lot of great things in this app, but there’s also
- [R10] ProFit Username Not Found: When I go to sign in, I’m met with “Username Not Found.” The app was able to accept my payment information, yet not load my username. Can’t get in touch with anyone for help.
- [R39] ProFit Issues with signing in and no response from VGFIT: I purchased one year and the app will not allow me to sign in as it is throwing up an email error. I did reach out to VGFIT, but currently waiting on a response from them. Will adjust my review depending on the response from them or no response.
- [R70] SHRED Love the Workouts Hate The App: The workouts are great, however the app is plagued with bugs and glitches. Certain exercises are spoken in a different language when the app says them. Also the app constantly freezes causing me to have to close and reopen then app to get it to start working again.
- [R108] SHRED Buggy: I like the app, but it’s pretty buggy. Often duplicates workouts in my Apple fitness tracker. Freezes and glitches frequently too.
- [R19] ProFit Here is no option for canceling: Here is no option for cancellation
- [R43] ProFit Scam: I can’t login, app doesn’t recognize my use name (email) I tried reaching them for quite a while and they don’t reply. I paid for a whole year and still have 6 months left on my subscription. I’ve sent like 6 messages (emails) to them and nothing at all. Beware, don’t download, it’s a scam!
- [R64] SHRED Crash / Bugs: This app has decent workouts, but I’m constantly emailing support to find out when a bug is going to get fixed. The most recent makes the app unusable. Do a trial before buying
- [R109] SHRED Gone downhill: I’ve had shred for 11 months now. Started off great and tailored workouts to my equipment. Now I can’t do a leg day without a leg press machine, which my gym doesn’t have, and it can’t give me a workout without it. This was never an issue until the past two months. I didn’t change the program and made sure I only had the equipment listed that I was able to use. Same for ab workout
- [R6] ProFit Bru: I literally have to pay $20 just to work out and 50 dollars for 3 months 🤦
- [R31] ProFit Pay to play: This was a great app to track your progress and learn different exercises. Then the free trial ends and you can’t do anything without paying for a subscription. I pay for enough subscriptions already I’m not looking to add another one. No thank you.
- [R83] SHRED Best app: This is the best fitness app out there. Support team is crazy responsive and the workouts and options are incredible. Has changed my workouts and commitment to the gym and fitness. For 100$ a year people spend that more on drinks for a night out. Invest in yourself, download the app, and get after it.
- [R112] SHRED Unauthorised charge: I tried the app for 2 days and cancelled, but they still charged my card for a full month
- [R55] ProFit Need support: I have emailed you several times that it says I do not have an account that I paid for. I just renewed my subscription but if someone cannot reply to me and help me get this problem resolved please refund my money. The app is good but if I can’t get support it’s horrible. Why is my review not showing??? I cannot find anywhere that lets me contact support. If you cannot get back to me
- [R53] ProFit Can not Unsubscribe!!!: It is NOT FAIR that you can subscribe BUT there is no button to unsubscribe. You need to email manually. Now have been 3 days since I send email, they still yet replied it.
- [R82] SHRED Good workouts, nonexistent customer service: I downloaded this app using a promo code, but Apple Pay kept bouncing back the charges. After the two week trial I was essentially kicked out, but I pressed the button to re-enroll and this time it worked but only at full price. I wrote to customer service for two issues- this issue with the billing, and about a creepy guy harassing me and wanting to ex
- [R115] SHRED Fraud don’t subscribe: I signed up for free trial and was told to check my email for password assistance as adding a password at the time was not an option. However I needed a password to sue the app. I checked my email, spam folder etc. nothing received. I “reset password“ several times nothing. I contacted them several times on their website using “report a problem” explaining the issue. Still
